Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery is the core service, with an emphasis on custom outcomes tailored to each customer's space and style preferences. This means helping clients think through fabric choices, color coordination, and design details like tufting, piping, nailhead trim, or button work that can transform a basic piece into something distinctive. Whether you're working with a single statement chair or redoing a full living room's worth of seating, the shop can handle projects of varying scale. Customers who bring reference photos or design inspiration are especially well-served by a shop that takes aesthetics seriously.

Service Area

Custom Designs Upholstery is based in Peoria and serves customers throughout the greater Peoria metro area. Clients from the East Peoria, Morton, and Washington areas make the trip for custom reupholstery work that's harder to find at standard shops. The shop's central Illinois location also makes it accessible to customers from smaller surrounding communities who are looking for design-focused upholstery services.

Frequently Asked Questions

What design details can be added during a reupholstery project?
There's quite a bit of room for customization, including tufting patterns, contrast piping or welt cord, nailhead trim in various finishes, button details, and skirt styles. These elements can dramatically change the character of a piece, and a shop focused on custom work can help you figure out what will look right.
Can I work with an interior designer and an upholstery shop at the same time?
Yes, and many custom upholstery shops actively collaborate with designers. If your designer has specified a particular fabric or finish detail, bring that information to the shop so they can work to that spec. Clear communication between everyone involved keeps the project on track.
How do I find a fabric that matches my existing room decor?
Bring photos of your room, or better yet, a swatch of an existing fabric or rug you want to coordinate with. A good upholstery shop will pull samples that complement what you already have and help you visualize how a new fabric choice will read in the space.
Is custom upholstery more expensive than standard reupholstery?
It can be, depending on the complexity of the design details you choose and the fabric you select. That said, most custom details like piping or tufting add a modest amount to the overall price, and the visual difference they make is usually well worth it.
Can an upholstery shop reupholster a piece in a completely different style?
Absolutely. A traditional rolled-arm sofa can be given a cleaner, more modern look with the right fabric and by skipping a skirt in favor of exposed legs. Your upholsterer can advise on which style changes are possible given the frame's existing structure.
How do I care for newly upholstered furniture to keep it looking its best?
Regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment keeps dust and debris from working into the fibers. For spills, blot immediately rather than rubbing, and check whether the fabric is rated for water-based or solvent-based cleaners before using any product on it.
